Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Chapter 534: Navy Commander Deng Jiugong

The 114.8-meter-long destroyer slowly approached from the seashore. There were already tens of thousands of people gathered on the beach. No one knew how the news leaked out, but these tens of thousands of people got the news, and more people kept coming.

If you take a photo from the sky at this moment, you can see people on the ground gathering like ants from all corners of the island city to the beach to watch the warships of the Fifth Fleet.

In the history of the Dragon Kingdom Navy, there have never been three warships joining the active force at the same time. At this moment, the reporters were too busy taking pictures of Li Shaoyi. The three warships in front of them were the protagonists today.

"Lao Du, from now on, you will serve as the commander of the navy."

Li Shaoyi pointed to the warship in the distance and said that although Lao Du had not joined for a long time, his loyalty was not a problem. Besides, this guy knew a lot. Apart from him, Li Shaoyi really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"No, no, no, I have a suitable candidate. This is Deng Jiugong. He is more suitable to be the naval commander than me. He is a relative of Lord Deng Shichang and the former deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Navy..."

Du Yunshan quickly shook his head and immediately recommended another person. Although this person was in his forties, he still looked energetic. He was wearing a worn navy uniform, which must have been buried under a box for a long time.

"Commander Li."

Deng Jiugong saluted and looked at Li Shaoyi at the same time.

beep...

System temporary reward...

Unlock German U-boats...

The unlocked model is the final model of 1945...

Li Shaoyi originally had some doubts about Deng Jiugong, but when the system prompt sounded, Li Shaoyi no longer had any doubts. He might not know how capable this person was, but the system certainly knew. Whenever a powerful person appeared, there would basically be weapons unlocked.

Destroyers may not be able to rule the ocean, but if submarines are used well, maybe half of the Pacific Ocean will be yours. Look at those Junkers who relied on submarines to encircle the Windsor Empire and dealt a heavy blow to this old empire.

"That's an easy name to remember. Since Lao Du recommended you, you will temporarily be in charge of this group of people. Lao Du will be your chief of staff. Although our Fifth Fleet has just been established, I can meet any needs you have. I only have one request for you, and that is to quickly form combat effectiveness and, with the cooperation of land-based aircraft, ensure the security of the island city's territorial waters."

Li Shaoyi was chatting like a normal person at first, but when he spoke later he sounded like giving orders. The naval officers and soldiers present all stood at attention and listened to the commander-in-chief's instructions.

"Please rest assured, Commander Li. I have seen these people. They are not the kind of flatterers. Each of them is capable. Please inspect our naval fleet again in two days."

Deng Jiugong did not refuse. He was also a man of action. He knew 70% of the people present. No one had better leadership ability than him. He also knew the situation in the island city. Li Shaoyi urgently needed a naval leader.

Du Yunshan is talented, but he is only suitable to be a chief of staff. If he really wants to lead troops to fight, he still lacks some courage. Li Shaoyi saw this when he was in Nanjing. Unexpectedly, this guy is very self-aware and recommended a commander to Li Shaoyi.

A few minutes later, when the warship docked, these people immediately lost sight of Li Shaoyi. Although Li Shaoyi was their idol, the warship in front of them was more attractive than Li Shaoyi. The 114-meter-long warship was docked at the dock, which was a huge ship for ordinary people of that era.

"You know, I have to report this matter to Jinling."

Gu Xiaomeng whispered beside him that three warships of unknown origin appeared in the island city, even surpassing some warships of the Central Navy. This must be reported to the higher authorities.

"I'll report what needs to be reported. Du Yunshan's ability is limited after all. You can talk to Boss Dai. If you can pull some strings, I can exchange warships for people. I want as many people as I can get from the Northeast Navy. If we buy this destroyer from a foreign country, it will cost at least several million dollars."

Li Shaoyi was not really sure about the price of warships of this era, but we could not produce them anyway. If we wanted to imitate them, it would definitely cost more. Even if you pay the foreigners, the world is in turmoil and they probably won't be able to get a job. It is something that you cannot buy even if you have money.

"Are you willing to use this thing to exchange for someone else?"

Miss Gu said in surprise. She could see clearly from the shore that this was a brand new warship. Some parts of it were even scattered, but it was much better than the second-hand, third-hand, and fourth-hand warships of the Central Navy.

"Having a warship is useless without a human. Do you expect me to drive it myself? I don't even know how to do anything in the cockpit."

Li Shaoyi said unhappily.

"Boss Dai will definitely be willing to do this job. The navy also has military procurement funds every year. There's a lot of money to be made in this. I'll send a telegram immediately, but you have to tell me the truth. How many of these warships do you have? And in which country are they produced?"

Some people in Jinling will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and Miss Gu is asking this question for them.

"We have as many as you want. As for the country of production, I can't tell you right now. You just want warships, so why would you care? Do you think you can buy them just by knowing the country of production?"

Li Shaoyi's words stumped Miss Gu. It was indeed as Li Shaoyi had said. It was useless to know. The shipyards of various navies were already fully occupied, and their own navies were also in a state of rapid expansion. If other countries wanted to place orders, it would probably take several years. After the ship was produced and then underwent a series of sea trials, that time...

After Gu Xiaomeng's telegram arrived in Jinling, it immediately caused an uproar. In fact, in addition to Gu Xiaomeng, the island city government and local agencies also sent telegrams, which basically confirmed the direct appearance of three warships.

Li Shaoyi has always been a very magical person. Not to mention all kinds of light weapons, after all, anyone with money can buy them. Of course, Li Shaoyi bought a lot and in many different styles.

But planes, warships, and tanks weren't ordinary weapons. Money couldn't buy them. What kind of connections did Li Shaoyi have that allowed him to buy something like this? This was a 2,000-ton destroyer...
